and thus may the ornamental be combined wth the 
useful. Its foliage does not possess a heaviness of 
character which would render it unsightly in such 
situation ; for it would ramble freely and lightly a- 
mongst the branches of a wall fruit tree, attaching it- 
self thereto by its wiry tendrils, and by its long ra- 
cemes of orange flowers would relieve the barren 
effect of the bare branches, when despoiled of their 
more substantial recommendation. 
If so trained, some advantage would probably ac- 
crue by the Calampelis being planted immediately 
against the main stem of the tree, to which it may be 
tied, till it has attained the height required for spread- 
ing, right and left, over the branches of its intended 
nurse. Thus the trimk would be afforded a shade, 
which some horticulturists have very reasonably con- 
ceived to be highly beneficial. Wall fruit trees, par- 
ticularly the apricot, nectarine, and similar sorts, fre- 
quently have cracks in their bark, where the sap ex- 
udes from their trunks and large branches. This is 
in general prevented by a partial shade in summer, 
such as would be afforded by the spreading boughs, 
when growing as standards, in a state of nature. 
This plant may be propagated from seeds, and as 
far as our own experience has proved, plants so raised, 
grow more freely than those from cuttings. The seed- 
lings should be raised in a hotbed, and be kept in pots, 
with a little protection in winter, till the following 
spring. They may then be put into the open groimd, 
against a wall or trellis, and trained thereto. A slight 
protection, in frosty weather, should be given to it; 
and it should be particularly observed that the roots 
be amply defended from its severity.
